Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
Stir in the ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Cook for another 2 minutes until aromatic.

Mix in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pan, mixing them well with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally.
